The Sun displayed its "flair for flares" in September, emitting 31 powerful bursts in just a span of 4 days. The activity originated from one fast-growing active region — an area of intense and complex magnetic fields — as it traveled across the Sun’s Earth-facing side in concert with the star’s normal rotation. As always, there were many instruments observing the Sun from both Earth and space, enabling scientists to study these events from multiple perspectives. Take a look: http://go.nasa.gov/2xx7TCv
